This document details the Federal Terms and Conditions for solicitation number 70Z03826QB0000225, issued by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Aviation Logistics Center (ALC) for the procurement of commercial spare parts. Because this is a sole-source acquisition, the award will be based on the determination of fair and reasonable pricing, with technical acceptability rated as acceptable or unacceptable based on the offeror's ability to provide new, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or OEM-approved parts. Key administrative and quality requirements include: - **Offer Validity:** Quotes must remain firm for 60 calendar days. - **Quality Assurance:** Contractors must notify the USCG of any supply changes, defects, or counterfeit parts. Unbroken traceability and certificates of conformance (and/or FAA Form 8130-3/PMA documentation) must accompany deliveries. - **Packaging and Shipping:** Items must be individually packaged without loose fill (e.g., Styrofoam or shredded paper) and shipped F.O.B. Destination to the ALC in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. - **Invoicing:** Electronic submission to ALC-Fiscal@uscg.mil is highly encouraged after shipment. The document also incorporates several FAR and HSAR provisions, including security prohibitions on covered telecommunications equipment, Kaspersky Lab products, and FASC-prohibited unmanned aircraft systems. Additionally, it highlights a deviation clause prohibiting racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities in contract performance and outlines strict reporting requirements for foreign-entity exclusions and supply chain risks.

This document is a federal Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition issued by the U.S. Coast Guard for acquisitions at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The purpose of the procurement is to acquire one tail rotor servo (P/N 704A44-831-120, NIIN 14-404-8798) for use as a spare part on MH-65 helicopters. The Coast Guard has designated this acquisition as a sole-source procurement, restricting competition to Airbus Helicopters, Inc. (located in Grand Prairie, Texas). The justification for this restriction is that the tail rotor servo is a highly specialized, safety-of-flight critical component. The technical data required for alternative manufacturing is unavailable because the component was designed by a non-government entity. Goodrich Actuation Systems is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), and Airbus Helicopters, Inc. is the only authorized supplier. Procuring this part from any other source would compromise aircraft and crew safety. Consequently, the solicitation and resulting purchase order will require documented traceability to the OEM and a completed Certificate of Conformance. The contracting officer will determine price reasonableness using market research, historical pricing, current price lists, industry comparisons, and the Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE).
